With different eyes

Special Chapter Garp

I wake up to a smack on the head. Sitting on the floor, I rub my head. But short hair? Then I run my hand through my face and realize that I have many wrinkles and a beard. I scratch my head and look up. I look up and notice a rage filled Sengoku. " HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO SLEEP?!" he yells. What? I hang my head and say, "Oh no!" Not another stranger's body again! Especially who am I in again now?I scratch my head and wonder: whom is Sengoku yelling at and sleeping while on duty? Either Kuzan or Garp. Since I'm probably old, I guess it's Garp. Before I can do anything with my observation, I get hit again by Sengoku. "Ouch!" I say, rubbing my head painfully. "Were you even listening to me?" he asks, annoyed. "What's going on here?" I hear Garp's voice. I get up and just leave the room. Behind me I hear Sengoku's voice roar and he throws something at my head. Fucking hell that hurts! I rub my head. "I WANT AN ANSWER!" roars Garp. "Yeah, and I want a headache pill!" I say annoyed. "A LITTLE MORE RESPECT!" I hear him yell. "I'll explain it to you in your office, otherwise I'll stand here stupidly looking into the void," I tell Garp. He is silent and I go into his office. Funnily enough, I still know the way from the last time I was here. "You were here before?" asks Garp. "Yes I have. Some time ago," I say quietly and enter the office. "You can really tell that Ace is your grandson. Pure chaos," I say laughing when I see the mess here. "You know Ace?" he asks. "All in a row," I say. 

I walk over to the desk and sit down in the chair. I immediately reach into the right drawer where the crackers are. I open the bags and stuff a couple in my mouth. "These things are really addictive," I tell Garp. "THOSE ARE MY CRACKERS, GET YOUR FINGERS OFF THEM," Garp yells. "Stop me!" I say with a grin. He roars some more. "Don't you want to know who I am?" I ask Garp as I continue to eat crackers. "That's right, there was something else!" he says, confused. I grin, the whole family is so crazy, it amazes me how they manage to put one foot in front of the other. "So I'm Lucia, I'm from another world and I'm friends with Ace. I usually share a body with Ace, but every now and then I end up in another body," I say. "WILL YOU KIDDING ME?" he roars. I shake my head. "You know my grandson?" he suddenly asks calmly. My goodness, the mood swings are giving me a headache. How am I going to explain this to him? "Explain what?" he asks me tensely. I sigh. "I'm well, Ace girlfriend," I say. "Bauahah, the good-for-nothing has managed to get himself a girlfriend. My condolences," Garp laughs. "Thanks, I think?" I say a bit confused. So I didn't expect this answer. "What is the rapscallion doing right now?" asks Garp with a laugh. I stuff a cracker in my mouth and say irritated, "Well he's on the Moby driving Marco and the cooks crazy." I mutter, chewing. "Bauahah that's my boy!" laughs Garp. It's fascinating what D's can be proud of. "That they had to become pirates. I raised them to be good people, but instead of them becoming marines, they decide to become pirates!" grumbles Garp. I laugh and tell him: "The two have become good people, just pirates. I know what I'm talking about, after all I'm with Ace," I say smiling. Garp laughs loudly.

I hear a knock at the door. "Who is it?" I ask Garp. "How should I know?" he says. Great. I invite the person in. Corby comes in and salutes. "Oh, he's so cute," I say with a grin. "He's a marine," Garp says, offended. "Nevertheless cute, Ace is a pirate and adorable, even if I won't say that to his face." "Adorable?" Garp asks, horrified. "Well, with those big dark eyes and freckles. Freckles make everything cute, even big bad pirates." I say towards the end, grinning sarcastically. Garp is silent in horror. I look at Corby and ask, "What's going on?" "The soldiers are waiting for training sir." he says and salutes. I look skeptical. Then I start to grin. Oh god this is going to be fun. "What are you up to?" asks Garp suspiciously. "Well, let's just say that the soldiers today are going to meet a new Garp," I say with a grin and follow Corby to the training ground. There, lined up in rows, are several soldiers. "Uff that's creepy, I'd rather have the pirates," I say. "What's creepy about it, they're disciplined marines!" Garp complains. "There's a difference between disciplined and blind obedience. These look like dolls with a string attached," I say, looking skeptically at the marines. Garp is silent. "What should I do?" I ask Garp. "Let them run!" he says. I say kindly, "You guys run around the square now." I get horrified looks from everyone. "What's going on?" I ask Garp. "WHY ARE YOU SO FRIENDLY!" he yells at me in horror. "Because there is no reason to shout," I say. The soldiers are now walking around the square, but keep looking at me. "I like you Garp, but I'm going to ruin your reputation," I laugh.
